On Friday 24th May 2024, they led representatives of STL Amandi Foundation to present an amount of Ghc 50,000 to the Chief of Ngersia, Nana Dokoa Agyeman III at Effia Nkwanta Hospital. The Chief recieved the money on behalf of the victims and thanked the Foudation for the support. The Chief on behalf of the families also thanked the two gentlemen recounting the role they had played since the incident occurred. He noted for example that it was Charles Bissue who organised for ambulances to take three of the victims to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
He also noted that Hon Joe Ghartey had visited the victims who had been transferred to Korle Bu hospital and had provided some support to them. The Chief led the two gentlemen to visit the victims who were on admission at Effia Nkwanta hospital. Unfortunately, three of the victims have passed away since the incident occurred.
